It’s almost time for the Fylde Coast Food and Drink Festival

The Fylde Coast Food and Drink Festival is back at Marine Hall, Fleetwood on Sunday 14 August. Come along between 10am and 4pm for a delicious day out for all the family – entry is free.

There’s everything a foodie could wish for including cheeses,
chutneys, cakes, chocolates, jams, pies, puddings and much more. There will
also be some tempting wines to try and buy, delicious ciders, specialist
coffees, traditional teas and some delicious fruity liqueurs on sale.

Plus, the tastiest street food around will be cooking outside.
Will you have paella or polish sausage, gourmet burgers or pulled pork, omelettes
or burritos? You will be spoilt for choice.

The talented chefs
from Twelve Restaurant will be hosting cooking demonstrations on stage
throughout the day - don't miss your chance to watch them cook up three
delicious courses. Find out how to create a tasty starter, impressive main
course and perfect pudding. They will be
using the best of Lancashire ingredients to showcase dishes you can try your
hand with at home. The chefs will also be
taking questions from the audience - a great chance to pick up some tips.

For
the first year, the venue is hosting a
cake bake off contest. Open to all ages, there will be a young bakers category
for under 16s and an adult category. You can enter with any type of
cake, large or small the choice is yours. There's a pair of tickets to see
Bucks Fizz at Marine Hall up for grabs for the adult winner and two tickets to
the venue’s indoor ice skating sessions in the Christmas holidays for the best
junior entry.

All you need
to do to enter is register by calling Marine Hall on 01253 887693 and bring
your creation on the day at 9.30am before the event starts. A panel of expert bakers will announce the winner at 2.15pm,
so be sure to stick around to see if you've won.

There is plenty for the kids to enjoy too including pizza making,
cupcake and gingerbread decorating, mask making and fun quizzes so bring the
whole family for a great day out by the seaside!

Janet Heald, Events and Front of House Manager at
Marine Hall comments, “The food festival is a real highlight in the Marine Hall
calendar for us now. We are delighted to welcome back exhibitors year after
year and
to introduce new businesses to the event.

“We’re
hoping for a great turn out again, it’s nice to bring new people into Marine
Hall and shout about all the different things we have to offer. Thornton
Cleveleys Brass Band will be back, serenading visitors with their much loved
renditions of well-known songs and brass band classics. So come along, pull up a deck chair, grab some lunch and some treats to take
home and enjoy the day.”
